If you’re not happy with how communities are ran you can create your own. Nobody is hogging precious namespace so you can spin up @numismatics@treants.penis and run it any way you like.

Plausible deniability.

This thing somehow looks to me more fun than Mario Kart World. Controls are tight and now there’s Micro Machines mode too?

This game has a horrendous stutter, don’t buy it until it’s fixed. Thankfully there’s a demo so you can see it for yourself.

It does federate for sure but implementation looks quirky.

How else would you engage in a foreplay with your laptop?

I have ThinkPad at work which is pleasant enough to touch due to rubberised plastic but wanking with it sounds tricky because of how stiff it’s hinges are.

Does that make it legal? Cool.

Sony is working on a proper handheld and introduced low power mode to PS5 which sounds suspiciously same as introducing new power profile that can be reused in that handheld. Given rising prices of electronics in the US it looks like we’re in for a very cross-gen generation.

Tiny DLSS has about half the overhead in terms of frametime cost but sacrifices anti-aliasing on moving objects. Video weighs pros and cons of using tiny DLSS with bigger input resolution (Star Wars: Outlaws) vs full DLSS with smaller input resolution (Cyberpunk 2077) but the point of video is to show those differences directly. In my opinion lack of AA in motion is a bit overstated as it’s relatively hard to notice without magnifying glass.

There’s Kodi in WebOS brew appstore. I’ve only ever used Kodi for offline media libraries but as far as I know there’s plenty of third party Kodi addons for this kind of piracy.

Star Wars: Outlaws, 15 hours in.

It’s Star Wars Assassin’s Creed Witcher essentially. There is a touch of what I call Ubisoftosis (map with a million pins) but they didn’t overdo it this time. Main story is okay so far, sidequests are nothing to write home about but somehow it all comes together very nicely because systems play off each other constantly.

The first hook is the setting of course. I’m not a big Star Wars fan but I appreciate how richly detailed it is. I can’t help but compare it to Starfield where travelling is a chore and Outlaws does everything right. Even with fast travel available I usually travel to my spaceship on speeder or on foot, launch from the ground to orbit, punch in hyperdrive and land in the same way. It’s so seamless and fun!

My squirrel brain remains entertained because of the exploration & upgrades loop. There’s lots of environmental puzzles that are really well done and equipment rewards are usually worth it. On top of that you have abilities that you gain by performing certain actions, some of which can be a bit of a puzzle too, similar to how achievement work usually.

Kessel Sabacc is Star Wars Gwent, surprisingly fun for how simple the rules are. Switch 2 version includes Sabacc related DLC which is nice.

Technical side is really impressive. I didn’t think I’d see games with RTGI on Switch 2, especially not at launch. It does crash from time to time though but I haven’t lost more than a minute or so of progress thankfully. The game really benefits from playing on the go as you can quickly score some side jobs and leave main story for when you have more time at home.

The biggest drag for me are spaceship parts. The ship handles horribly and controls are weird. I have no fun spinning while chasing red arrows. If I could I’d keep Southpaw control scheme strictly for those parts it’d be bearable but alas…

Best 7/10 game I played in a while.

I rarely pirate stuff on Mac but I’ve had this saved in my bookmarks: https://www.torrentmac.net/

More obscure stuff might not be well seeded but I haven’t found anything better.

If you’re a publisher only then RSS/Atom makes much more sense, especially if you want to retain ownership and control over content you created. If control is not important to you and you want to incorporate social aspect into your website (comments, reactions) then ActivityPub seems like a convenient way to go about it.

One thing that I strongly disagree with author of the blog post is the discoverability aspect. Yes, initial federation kind of sucks but at the same time your readers on Mastodon will be able to boost it and increase your reach.

In case you haven’t seen it, there’s a VB emulator for 3DS and it’s awesome!

It’ll be focused entirely on Mario theme park ;)

I assumed (in good faith) that there was some (other) original and useful video from LTT about some USB technicalities you guys were referring to :)

I’ll have to stand by my original take that this video is just a rehash of research done by other people.

I meant this Nintendo video, not USB one.

In my eyes the quality went up a lot after that wake up call made them overhaul their production process, but it’s a shame it took one.

To me it looks like more of the same, which has always been okay on the surface. Billet Labs fuckup was about more than keeping their sample, it was about negligent approach that amounted to measurable harm to their business. I doubt LTT can fix this long term because their core business is selling ad space for gadget makers and they are still in the race to the bottom, just with better economies of scale.

LTT like most of the tech channels these days are just sponsored content intended to sell you stuff with occasional clickbait or ragebait spruced in between. Which is a shame because back in the day it was like Top Gear of nerdy tech. Their quality has been in decline for years which for me culminated with what they did to Billet Labs. This video didn’t bring anything new to the table but is designed to bring views because Nintendo hate is trending. Yes, capitalism is bad and we all exist in a capitalistic society, news at 11.
